What will they do when covid fades away into nothingness?

That's good news.

and on the couch, and in bed.

I still can't get through a day without a nap. And I slept 10 hours last night. Good grief!

The good news is I'm able to actually do things around the house and I'm cooking again... Scott is happy about that!

I think it's nice to think that people had it without knowing it, but I would think that might be the exception and not the rule.

I always said to people that I would get covid at one point, and I would recover. Now the question is - do I have antibodies against it and for how long will these stay in my system?

My 92 year old mother in the nursing home got it and had it for 3 or 4 weeks before she tested negative twice in a row and she never had a symptom.

The only thing I have noticed is that folks at work treat me with caution, so to speak. Like I have the plague and am still contagious. It's frustrating. Sometimes I wish I would have never said I had it and just kept it a secret. But it's a smaller business and people talk.

For those of us who have caught the COVID bug, let's hope we now will build immunities.
